Weird creatures when it comes to beds aren't they. Buy them the softest, fluffiest bed and they'll ignore it forever, guaranteed. But leave a ripped old fleece or towel on the arm of a chair and they'll adopt that for the next six months, leaving it only to go and eat.
Of course eventually they give up on that towel or fleece too, and I wondered if it was because it's now too hairy or dirty, but no. No amount of you laundering it and fluffing it up will convince them to get in it ever again. They're completely done with that thing now, it won't ever appeal in the same way.
I often wondered if they don't like cleanly laundered cloth but as any cat owner knows, a neat pile of clean laundry is pretty much an instant magnet for cats.

Molly has her own bed by the side of our bed . She goes to it when we go to bed but only for a couple of hours or so. Between 2 and 3 am, she jumps onto our bed, hoping we won't notice, and there she stays for rest of the night.

Boxes are magnets. Bit difficult when four of them decide they want in.

Indeed Harry is obsessed by boxes of any size...I have many pictures of his derriere stuck out of a box about a quarter his size
He loves to shred them too (better than the carpet I suppose)

Simba our big male ragdoll usually sleeps next to my lower legs for the heat.

Don't you know it's cruel to put velcro on a cat.

Ours has a similar bed, but won't go inside it, just squashes it down and lies on top of it.

Have assorted beds dotted all around the house. Sometimes it's as much as putting the bed in the right place (quiet, warm, sometimes up on a high surface) as getting the right bed.
Lexi loves the igloo in the dining room. It's next to the radiator, and when she's feeling cold, she'll tip the bed onto its side and pull it round so the hole is facing the radiator and thus she gets the full blast of heat.
Poppy likes the large donut bed upstairs (also next to a radiator) but prefers the old fur coat that's on the table next to the window in my bedroom, as it's southwest-facing, and so gets the sunshine. Poppy is as much a magnet for sunshine as Lexi is for heat...
Oh yeah, and they BOTH like cardboard boxes...
